Stag with a Background!



I got assigned a new job, I composited a background into the stag scene. Problems i came across was getting to grips with persitioning the different layers, Bring forward and back the layers and making sure things fit right, but from a lot of help from steph and alot of fidderling about and closing the page and restarting i managed to get to grips with what to do.

EDIT:



Background was edited and now had a full background done by harriet, i then when back to the animation and composited it all together, i also had to move the tree forward because the antlers in the stag didnt look stuck in the tree in some parts, but by doing this the tree moved around and looked like it was floating, so i had to delete the tree layer and re-do it, this didnt take to long and was a lot quicker then if i tried to move all the single layers to fit each other. Then the grass didnt quite fit and i had to adjust the grass so it would fit but then the grass moved in the scene so i deleted the grass layer and placed it again and made sure it didnt move. Then once i thought everything was sorted out and i rendered out the movie, steph noticed some blank bits where the background didnt quite reach the edges, this was mostly round the camera pan, so i went back and adjusted that and i learnt something new which will proberly help me in the future, steph told me if i turned off the page on the tool bar with the yellow circle nothing should move if i adjusted it.
